Computer-related Inventions 

One of the things that makes protecting computer related inventions tricky is that first you have to distinctly identify the invention in exact terms. Defining any invention with the level of specificity required to satisfy U.S. patent laws is not something that is easy, but when the invention is a computer process or relates to software it is even more difficult. Sure, it is easy enough to define a list of desired functionality, and if you have some computer programming skills it is easy enough (after investing the requisite time, of course) to write the code that will enable that desired functionality, but that which can be protected via patent lies somewhere between the desired functionality and the code, making the defining of the invention rather elusive, particularly for those who are new to the business of inventing.
